2. On the Climate of Edinburgh for Fifty-six Years, from 1795 to 1850, deduced principally from Mr Adie's Observations; with an Account of other and earlier Registers.—On the Climate of Dunfermline, from the Registers of the late Rev. Henry Fergus

Extract
The paper on the Climate of Edinburgh is divided into seven sections.
The First Section includes an account of the earliest records of the thermometer at Edinburgh which are to be found in the Edinburgh Medical Essays. They date from 1731. They were made with a thermometer having an arbitrary scale, which is described in Martine's Essays, and they appear to have been recorded with much care; but they cease in 1736. The next series, printed in the Essays of the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh, commence in 1764, and are continued till 1770. A parallel Register was begun at Hawkhill, near Edinburgh, and continued till 1776, and probably later.
